Value of emails

Guest (Querist) 08 March 2013 This query is : Resolved

To give background,my wife and I married in 2007 in India and lived abroad.By early 2008 we had agreed to separate due to misunderstandings.My wife requested me to spend money on education and passing various competitive exams abroad to get her settled.She wanted me not to inform her family and she will give divorce when she settled.I contnued to spend money(about 10 lakhs) till August 2009 when she failed twice.At this point,I asked her to inform her family as the stress was getting too much(pretending the marriage was okay to her family).She returned to India and then demanded huge alimony from me.Lower court asked me to pay 15000 and I have paid 2 lakhs arrears but they have appealed in High Court for more alimony.Unfortunatey I have also lost my job due to recession and staying with my parents for the last year.

My question:
1)I have emails from her asking me to spend money on her education and that she will return the money as soon as possible and also the bills on what I have spent for her.Is it any use to either reduce the maintenance or in the divorce case(I have filed on the basis of cruelty in 2011).Many thanks

Thank you sirs,Is it of use to show that wife previously agreed for MCD in return for money spent on education,now changed her mind after returning to India.Is there any case law with regards to this.Your advice is much appreciated.

Proof of "I have also lost my job due to recession and staying with my parents for the last year."
This will help you reduce mtn.

Thank you sir,I have got proof for that.

Earlier agreeing over MCD and later on backing it is no ground to help you, This is the desire of a person to first do agree and later on to change his earlier volunteer mind keeping in view some other facts.
